• What is a strength of the case study of HM?

  It provides evidence for the multi store model
• What happened to HM after his operation?

  He could no longer create long-term memories
• Why is the case study of HM considered limited?

  It cannot be generalized to the wider population
• What is the significance of the serial position effect?

  It shows how information is recalled from memory
• What are the two effects observed in the serial position effect?

  Primacy effect and recency effect
• Why do people remember words at the beginning of a list?

  They can rehearse these words for long-term memory
• What does the recency effect indicate about memory?

  Words at the end are still in short-term memory
• What limitation does the multi store model have regarding memory stores?

  It defines them as unitary single stores
• What does the working memory model suggest about short-term memory?

  It is divided into multiple qualitatively different stores
• What was damaged in the case study of KF?

  His acoustic short-term memory
• What is maintenance rehearsal according to the multi store model?

  It keeps information in short-term memory
• What is elaborative rehearsal?

  It adds meaning to information for long-term storage
• What are the strengths and limitations of the multi store model of memory?

  Strengths:

  • Supported by case studies like HM
  • Evidence from serial position effect

  
  

  Limitations:

  • Defines memory stores as unitary
  • Lacks consideration of different memory types
• How does elaborative rehearsal differ from maintenance rehearsal?

  Elaborative rehearsal links information to existing knowledge
• What are case studies?

  In-depth investigations of individuals or groups
• What happened to Henry after his hippocampus was removed?

  He damaged his long-term memory store
• What does Henry's case study suggest about memory stores?

  They can be damaged independently
• What are imaging techniques used for?

  To observe brain activation patterns
• What do neuroimaging techniques reveal?

  Active brain parts during tasks and behaviors
• How have researchers used brain imaging techniques?

  To study brain activity during information recall
• What part of the brain is active during short-term memory recall?

  The frontal cortex
• What does the activation of the hippocampus during long-term memory recall suggest?

  It is responsible for long-term memory storage
• What conclusion can be drawn from the different brain areas active in memory recall?

  There are separate stores for short and long-term memory
• What are case studies?

  In-depth investigations into individuals or groups
• What happened to Henry after his hippocampus was removed?

  He damaged his long-term memory store
• What does Henry's case study suggest about memory stores?

  They can be damaged independently
• What are imaging techniques used for?

  To look inside the brain for activation patterns
• What do neuroimaging techniques reveal?

  Active brain parts during tasks and behaviors
• How have researchers used brain imaging techniques?

  To study brain activity during information recall
• What part of the brain is active during short-term memory recall?

  The frontal cortex
• What part of the brain is active during long-term memory recall?

  The hippocampus
• What does the activity of different brain parts during memory recall suggest?

  We have separate stores for short-term and long-term memory
• What was impaired in patient KF after his accident?

  His short term memory
• What did case studies of patients like KF reveal about the multi store model?

  It isn't supported by findings from case studies
• What does the multi store model predict about short term and long term memory damage?

  Damage to short term memory also damages long term memory
• How did KF's case challenge the multi store model's prediction?

  He had short term memory damage but intact long term memory
• What is a limitation of the multi store model regarding short term memory?

  It oversimplifies short term memory as one type
• What did researchers find about KF's short term memory impairment?

  It was impaired for some things but not others
• How did KF perform with visual information compared to auditory/verbal information?

  He could retain visual information but not verbal
• What does KF's ability to recall photographs suggest about short term memory?

  There are multiple short term memory stores
